Worldwide Marine SDI (MSDI) Initiatives
A few examples from a hydrographic point of view
(M)SDI May not be highest priority
Hydrographic offices = SafetyPort and Waterways = Economy
Safety
UN’s International Maritime Organization– Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS)– International and national law– Updated hydrographic charts must be carried
The (blue) economy
Europe's 3 largest ports handles 30 million TEUs annually
– That’s more than 80,000 TEUs daily
Christian Jones, LINZ at CARIS2014
New Zealand
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ)• LINZ Data Services
– 7 data themesE.g. topography, hydrography, geodesy, cadastral, place names,
aerial imagery
– OGC (e.g. WFS and CS-W)– ISO 19115/19139– Creative Common data license
Share: Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or formatAdapt: Remix, transform, and build upon the material
Navy or civilian organizations?
Of IHO recognized hydrographic office are–Roughly 2/3 civilian–Roughly 1/3 defence (navy)
Defence organizations can too
IHO Capacity Building
MSDI workshops Includes topics like:– SDI Policy, Technical Standards and Geographic
Content– Data Modeling, Data Organization and Infrastructure– Data Management, Production and Interoperability– Human Aspects, Change Management and
Sustainability– Executed by CARIS and OceanWise
Worldwide MSDI workshops
From China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Comoros, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, Guatemala, Chile, Colombia
IHO S-102
S-102 is IHO’s first S-100 product specification– Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG)
• BAG encoding is HDF5
– Intended for navigational use– Allows additional data
• Uncertainty for each node• Digital signature
Navigational Surface with an ENC
WCS
Web Coverage Service– Coverage data containing original semantics
Allows data delivery in various data formats– E.g. GML, GeoTIFF, HDF-EOS, NITF
Belgium MSDI using WCS
More than 13000 data sets availableDownloadable as GeoTIFF, BAG and ASCII

More data that can be shared though SDI?
UN World Hydrography Day on 21st June
This year’s theme is:
Hydrography - much more than just nautical charts
